New member Reporting in. I actualy found this site through Wikipedia.
I live in Sweden and i am wating to get my Asperger's diagnosed, but im certain i am an aspie for serveral reasons.
1. Ive made researtch on aspie traits, quirks and problems and relate most of them to my own behaviour in hte past or present.
2. Ive had my parents read about it to double check, and they agree.
3. I have a Aspie friend i know through WOW (I do play, but not mutch), and when he and i both take online aspie tests i tend to get one point more than him. Sure online test might not always be the best source for researtch, but the results must mean something if my diagnosed friend gets esentlialy the same result as me.
If you're curiou why ive checked so thorughly, well you see i im already Diagnosed with Dyslexia (funny how thats sutch a hard word to spell
), ive been diagnosed with social phobia in the past, and ive had a couple of depresions through the years, so i wana make sure im not just looking for excuses or sutch.
Um... what more to say... Well i guess ive alway been the quiet and withdrawn type. Ive been through the first 9-years of base school, 3 years of "Gymnasiet" and i did study for about one year at university, but it was just to mutch for a Dyslectic aspie to handle. Now i live at home with my family and im looking for work. And before anyone asks, im 19, turning 20 in afew months.
what more to say... My plans for the future maby?
As i said im looking for work, but i havent realy been that active with it yett beause i moved back home from Uni just a couple of days ago. What i would idealy wana work with in the future is actualy to sort of hold presentations at schools and sutch about Dyslexia, Asperger's and simular diagnoses in general. Both for teatchers and for school kids, to raise their awareness and help those who might have sutch problems know what it is and get the right help.
Unless you want to know my "Special interests" (as so many websites and people call them) i dont realy know what more to say.
